Saunders: Bureaucracy and Billions Deliver Just Seven EV Stations Nationwide

By Joe Saunders | Commentary, The Western Journal When it comes to case studies in government incompetence, former President Joe Biden’s administration is a master class. Whether it was disastrous foreign policies like the withdrawal from Afghanistan, or disastrous domestic ideas like opening the southern border to an invasion of illegal immigrants from all over the globe, the Biden years were a lesson in the limitations of Democratic rule. Now, a new report from the Government Accountability Office is driving the message home in a way any American who drives can understand. The report released Tuesday shows the Biden administration’s $7.5 billion program created by the 2021 infrastructure bill to provide public chargers for electric vehicle use had managed, by April of this ye...

Hunter: The Prince of Darkness and the Light of the World

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, RMV NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice Giving Thanks in Evil Times — A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and the Goodness That Guides Us They called him the Prince of Darkness, a man whose voice shook stadiums and whose image terrified a generation of churchgoers. Ozzy Osbourne was never the poster child for purity. He bit bats, howled at moons, and lived through headlines that left even the tabloids gasping. And yet, strangely enough, it was Ozzy—not a pastor or prophet—who helped spark a light in my soul.  Not because of his music, necessarily, though I played more than my fair share of "Bark at the Moon" and "Crazy Train," but because of the man behind the madness. It wasn’t his heavy metal thunder that broke through my walls. It was his humanity....

Young Rancher’s Win Restores Power to Farmers and Families

By Beef News Staff | Beef News At 21, Dawson Holle didn’t just change a law—he rewrote the future of food freedom in North Dakota. Backed by cows, commonsense, and coalition-building, he legalized raw milk and cream without corporate lobbying or culture war noise. This is how a farm kid outmaneuvered the bureaucracy—and lit a path every state can follow. It starts with a rotary parlor and a thousand cows. Before the sun comes up in Mandan, North Dakota, Dawson Holle is managing crews, driving the semi to pick up corn or straw, and fielding legislative calls from the Capitol. He’s 21. He’s the youngest elected lawmaker in state history. And this year, he overturned decades of dairy regulation to legalize on-farm raw milk across North Dakota. “I mean, I could go buy sushi. I coul...

Trump Floats Tax-Free Home Sales to Unleash Real Estate Revival

By Brian Freeman | NEWSMAX President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his administration is thinking about adopting a policy to eliminate capital gains taxes on the sale of a house. Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump was asked about the importance of having "no tax on home sales capital gains to unleash the housing market." Trump responded, "We are thinking about that. But it would also unleash it just by lowering the interest rates. If the Fed would lower the rates, we wouldn't even have to do that. But we are thinking of no tax on capital gains on houses." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted on X a video of Trump's statement and thanked him "for supporting my No Tax on Home Sales Act." READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT NEWSMAX

DiGirolamo: Teen sexting—What every parent needs to know

By John DiGirolamo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice How Teens Make It Worse: Taylor Swift wrote that when you’re fifteen, and someone tells you they love you, you’re going to believe them. Almost twenty years later, a teen’s definition of love and what’s fun and flirty now includes sending nude images.  The number one activity where teens contribute to their own detriment is sexting. According to the nonprofit Fight the New Drug, most teens have viewed pornography, with the average age of exposure at eleven years old. If explicit images are viewed frequently and at a young age, sending and receiving nude pictures become normalized. Over 90% of teens have sent or received explicit images by the time they graduate high school. 53% of boys and 39% of girls believe pornog...

Rand Paul introduces bill to audit the Federal Reserve after $2.5B renovation uproar

Redfin report shows Gen Z buying homes younger than millennials or Gen X

By Rachel Wingrat | Denver7 DENVER — New data from Zillow shows the median earner in Denver would need a $44,000 raise to afford a mortgage on a home. It's just the latest statistic that shows how hard it can be to buy a house. But Gen Z seems to be defying the data. According to a recent report from Redfin, Gen Z is actually outpacing millennials and Gen X when it comes to homeownership, compared to when those other generations were the same age. Denver7 spoke with Elizabeth Million, with Elevation Credit Union, about how this is possible when homes seem so unaffordable. "They definitely do their research, which is fantastic," Million said. "The Gen Z segment, they're okay to move or drive as far as it takes to find affordable homes." So Million said, that mi...
